Bo's potential is certainly evident, but haven't seen enough for him to warrant north of $6.

While eight years may be enticing, you have to up the ante to buy those UFA years. And there is increased risk that comes with dishing out a term deal for $48-54, particularly when trade protection kicks in as the deal gets on.

I'd shoot for $25 over 5, or $33 over 6 year term, max!

If he turns into the player we all hope he will be, and the team enjoys success over the next 3-5 years, he'll be re-signed at a fair price anyway. Vancouver has a good track record for taking care of their Captain's.

Besides, dude's gonna get paid regardless, why put undue pressure on the kid by dropping $54mil on his shoulders?
